I think your first item is probably a high velocity bullet that mushroomed quite nicely on impact. no clue on the slug-like item(right). Is it lead?

Is the item with the copper, copper jacketed or solid copper.  Saboted Shotgun slugs are lead cored and full copper jacketed or full copper.  My guess is some type of Shotgun slug.

In the number two picture you have a shotgun shell base with the primer gone and on the right you have a deer slug. Can't tell the guage though. You might measure it and find out if you're really curious.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.
